International Human Rights Day commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. 'Human rights' refer to basic rights or freedoms that include people's right to live, health, education, freedom of speech and thoughts, and equal rights.
This day is observed to promote equality, peace, justice, freedom and the protection of human dignity. Every individual is entitled to rights irrespective of race, colour, religion, sex, language, or social status.
As part of celebrating the day and creating awareness regarding the same, a human rights oath was taken by the teachers and student teachers. Mariya George recited the oath which declared that every individual should respect the rights and freedom of others and it was repeated by everyone in unison.
A poster making competition was organized under Human Rights and Ethics cell of GCTE Thycaud. The theme of the competition was the theme of this year's International Human Rights Day; 'Dignity, Freedom and Justice for all'.
The competition was for the B.Ed and M.Ed students. One poster from each department was mandatory. The posters were to be made in accordance with the theme. Relevance of the theme, originality, creativity, colour harmony and visual impact were the criteria of evaluation. Each department came up with thought provoking posters depicting various concerns. All the posters maintained high creative and intellectual quality and were perfect portrayals of the theme.
